This is the big problem. It’s like broad daylight robbery of
American companies like Monsanto to rob whatever they want (of course just what
they have done to American people, etc.) and I wonder how EU, Japan and
Australian governments would be buying it. It’s the takeover of sovereignty
from the people, and handed it to these corporations.
All Australian political parties might accept it. Isn’t it
about selling Australia ?!
Is this the future of Australia ?
The rich will be everything and people will be nothing. Australian government
is too small and it has no chance to deny it - The same to other parties?!
Obama is now a salesman (?!) and different leaders are buying
from him… G20 is just that!
In political science and sociology,
elite [dominance] theory is a theory of the
state which seeks to describe the power relationships in contemporary society.
The theory posits that a small minority, consisting of members of the economic
elite, policy-planning networks (which include not only think tanks, but also
part of academia, see Econned) and selected members of "professional
class", holds the most political power and that they acquire this power
bypassing the democratic elections process and are able to hold into it for a
long time (see Two Party System as polyarchy).
Through positions in corporations
and corporate boards, as well as the influence over the policy-planning
networks through financial support of foundations`` or positions with think tanks or policy-discussion groups, members of
the "elite" are able to exert dominant power over the policy
decisions of the corporations in their own favor (outsized bonuses is just one
example here) and subdue the national governments to the interests of those
corporations. A recent example of this can be found in the Forbes Magazine article [1] (published in December 2009) entitled The
World's Most Powerful People, in which Forbes lists the 67 people, which the editors consider to be the most powerful people in the world (assigning one
"slot" for each hundred million of humans). http://www.softpanorama.org/Skeptics/Political_skeptic/Elite_theory/index.shtml
Australian Liberal Party has
appeared to have chosen this Elite Domination ideology as its main policy. Recent
political developments, Liberal’s policies on education etc. indicate there is
a possible hidden policy/agenda they are working for. I wish they don't!
